I can't remember anything that happened last night after I knocked on Soul's door. I took a deep breath, bit still didn't open my eyes.

Hm... That's weird. Why do I smell Soul?

I opened my eyes and looked around. I'm in Soul's room? In his bed? I tried to sit up, but was stopped by Soul's arm which was wrapped around my waist.

Wait, is that my arm too? I looked down and saw that my hand was right on top of his. Holy crap. What did we do?

I looked over my shoulder, and sure enough I found Soul spooning me. I screamed and jumped out of his bed. I fell to the floor and was blushing madly.

"Oi, Maka! Keep it down will ya'?" Soul groaned and turned over.

"Soul!" I yelled. Please tell me he didn't do anything! "Why were you just spooning me?" I asked kind of too loudly.

"Huh? What do you mean? You're on the floor, how could I be spooning you?" Soul was oblivious to the fact that his arms were around my waist.

"What happened last night, and why was I in your bed?"

Soul sat up, yawned, and stretched. "You dont remember?" He laughed. "Someone slept well."

"I'm serious! What happened?"

Soul sighed. "You knocked on my door, started crying, explaining how you've been having nightmares, I asked if you wanted to just lay with me, you said yes, and then we both fell asleep." He explained, and then it all started coming back to me.

"Oh yeah...now I remember. Sorry I woke you up, It seems like it's still pretty early since it's still dark..." I remembered Soul's blackout curtains, and looked at the clock. "What? Noon? Soul! We missed half of school already!"

"What? We slept for that long?" Soul glanced at the clock. "Damn." He cursed, then his entire attitude changed. "Well, not worth going then."

"What? No! We can still go! Everyone is probably wondering where we are!" I yelled.

"We can tell everyone that we were sick, tomorrow." He shrugged and laid back down.

"There's no school tomorrow!"

"Early weekend for us then."

"Soul!"

"Relax, Maka! It's okay to take a day off sometimes."

I sighed in defeat. I guess a day off with Soul is okay. As long as it's only one day. Maybe today would even be the perfect day to tell him how I about my feelings for him...just maybe.

I guess we both had something to say, wanting to break the silence, because we called each others names at the same time. I got up and laid back down next to Soul.

We just starred at each other in silence before Soul decided to talk first. "Listen, Maka..." He broke eye contact with me, sat up, and his cheeks turned a little pink. "There's something I've been wanting to say... I said it once last night, but I don't think you heard..."

"Yes?" What did he say? I can guess just by how flustered he his that it's something about me.

"I don't think I have the guts to say it again...so uncool." Soul reached his hand up and rested it awkwardly on the back of my neck.

"S-Soul?" I blushed at the gesture. What was he up to now?

"I think it would be easier if I just showed you..." Soul closed his eyes and leaded forward. I gasped realizing what was about to happen.

"Soul-" The space between us disappeared and Soul gently kissed my lips. I sat there shocked, then melted into his touch, and kissed him back.

Soul had stolen my first kiss, and it was incredible. The taste of his lips, and the way our soul wavelengths connected left me wanting more. I almost frowned when he pulled away, already missing the feeling of his lips on mine.

"I love you, Maka Albarn." Soul unsurely flashed me his signature toothy grin with a hint of blush across his face.

"I love you too, Soul Eater Evans." Damn I'm crazy. I just told Soul I loved him. What was I thinking?

Soul leaned in for another kiss, and it was ten times better than the first. His lips moved against mine, and he pulled me close to him. It felt right to be so close to him, and I pulled him on top of me.

"Someone's a little carried away." Soul chuckled and backed away.

I blushed. "Guess one day off won't kill me." I muttered and started getting up. I reached for the door, but Soul picked me up from behind me, around my waist. "Hey!" I yelled.

"I'm not done talking." Soul said and set me back down on his bed. "I have one last question."

"What?" I asked curiously.

"It might be a little much, but will you go out with me?" Blush crept across both of our faces.

"I guess..." I answered. "But that doesn't make me your girlfriend! I'll let you take me on one date, and you can't tell anyone." I crossed my arms. "Okay?"

"I knew it was too soon, but I guess that's fair." Soul sighed. "How 'bout today?"

"Huh?"

"How 'bout I take you out on a date today? We can go down into the woods and have a picnic. Just you and me."

I thought about our chances of being caught ditching school. "I guess so..." I agreed.

"Then hurry up and get ready, I'll pack lunch."

I nodded and went to my room to change. I opened my drawers just as Blair crawled into my room in cat form.

"So.... Where were you last night?" She teased. "I bet you had so much fun, huh?" She giggled.

"Knock it off Blair, you know it wasn't like that." I scolded her and she jumped up onto the windowsill.

Crap, what am I going to wear? Normal clothes? Or should I dress up? No, don't be stupid, it's a picnic.

I decided on my normal attire, put my hair up in it's normal pigtails, and headed out into the living room.

"Jeez, what took you so long, Maka?" Soul laughed. He was also wearing normal clothes with a black headband, and had a picnic basket and blanket in his arms.

"I didn't take that long." I laughed.

"Whatever you say, c'mon let's go." Soul turned and opened the door.

"Have fun on your date, lovebirds!" Blair called out.

"Blair!" I yelled and started for the book on the kitchen table.

"Maka," Soul said and grabbed my hand. "I said let's go." He awkwardly laced our fingers together, and we carefully walked out to the woods.
